I want to share a story with all of you that happened last year and I am going to blame it on the drugs. So, this year being clean for a couple months I shouldn’t make the same mistake. For the sake of this story I will say my wife’s name is Sally, not her real name.
Being a typical male that has been married for a long, long, long time I waited to buy my wife a card for Valentine’s Day. The night before Valentine’s Day, when I actually thought about it, it was snowing and I didn’t want to go out. So being the internet savvy person I am, I went to one of the major greeting card company’s website and bought a subscription. Found a nice looking card with hearts on it and came up with some nice words of my very own for the inside. I printed the card, signed it with love, and put it in the cupboard for the next morning to surprise my wonderful wife. The next morning I made sure that I was still home when she came downstairs and gave her the card thinking that she’d be happy and I’d get a kiss. She opened it looked at the front of the card and with rage on her face she screamed, LINDA, WHO IS LINDA. The card people had the audacity to put made up names in their sayings on the front of the cards!!! See maybe it is because I am a guy and don’t pay attention to the small details sometimes, well most of the time, but I am saying that it was because of the meds that I was taking at that time it slipped by me. This year I am sharp and on the ball and it won’t happen again, nope, this year I bought her a new vacuum sweeper!!!!! OK, maybe I’ll be very careful and make her a card with her name on it too.
